Hi, I have problems connecting to the WiFi network of the above powerline extender. I have set the SSID and password through Ethernet connection, but I cannot connect to it wirelessly. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

The SSID shows up and I know I have entered the correct password but I am unable to connect to it.

I bought TL-WPA4220 Powerline Extender connected to a TL-WPA2220Kit.
I used to have wifi problems with WPA4220: connection dropping twice a day, broadcast/DCHP not assigning ip address, specially with IPhone and IMac (PCs and Androids less problems). Sometimes assigning static IP address would work (but not for more than 1 or 2 days) so I plugged another wifi router to the WPA4220 as a workaround.
A few days ago, I realized that my firmware (v1-EU) was not updated as I had thought. TPLink download page in Brazil didnt have the latest firmware version, it show April,2014. Visiting TPLink page in Portugal I found a new firmware dated May,2016.
Both are same region v1(EU) and it worked for me. My problem is apparently solved.
